They get it when it can do something that most other motherboards can't. Run Amiga OS4! |

| Posted at 23:13, right? And ACube Systems is in Italy... which puts it ahead by at least 1 hour from BST (GMT+0100).
I really hope this isn't an April Fools joke :) |

| Worrying that there is not a single mention of OS4. |
Probably has something to do with the fact that we haven't yet heard a peep from Amiga Inc about Hyperion and ACube's new partnership. I'll feel a lot better about the Sam440 as an "Amiga" after Amiga Inc releases some sort of statement about this that doesn't include terms like "breach of contract", "theft of IP" and "lawyers" (note how the word "amiga" doesn't appear anywhere on ACube's Sam440 page). Unless that happens, the Sam440 will be just another neat little Linux box.Last edited by CodeSmith on 01-Apr-2007 at 12:45 AM.

Ah, yes. When the UK takes up BST, we catch up with the nearby countries.
Forgot about that! |

Can somebody simply please ask Bill what is going on with SAM and OS4? Or are we going to conjecture on,

| Congratulations ACube/SAM team!
In the uboot output I see 2 hard drives that aren't mounted, just hoping that 1 has os4 on it for testing.

| Congratulations to the completion of your hardware.
PS.
It's a pity Amiga Inc couldn't break their tendency and grant a licence.

| Let's hope you get the boards out for end-users and at
a good price..
About that SmartMedia connector.. What the hell for?
CompactFlash is one thing you use on embedded plat-
forms. SmartMedia is just another dumb memory card
for digital cameras. You can't boot from it. |

| Does that fact that the uboot log shows "No Catweasel controller" tell us this is a version of Hyperion's uboot?
One could be lead to infer something from this, I guess... maybe... perhaps... |

| @Cav:
mostly when you take into account that no catweasel support exists in the main uboot project.

| O.k. I know what reactions I'm gonna get .....
The only "new" SAM-pic I found seems to show the same board as shown last year. You know that board Jens Schönfeld wrote a report about (only behind class, to many layers for economial production etc). There is also sofar no independent report of a working SAM.
Add to that the stuff about "industrial partners" and you have a situation just like when Genesi announced the EFIKA to be available (if you bought 50000 units that was).
The UBoot-log isn't suprising as the Hyperion-version should be the obvious choice, and if I were to be hinting anything I would make sure it writes "Catweasle found"
And surely I would post my April-fools-jokes late at night on March 31
